The Evening Darkens Over a poem by Robert Bridges

The evening darkens over After a day so bright, The windcapt waves discoverThat wild will be the night. There's sound of distant thunder.

The latest sea-birds hover Along the cliff's sheer height;As in the memory wander Last flutterings of delight,White wings lost on the white.

There's not a ship in sight; And as the sun goes under, Thick clouds conspire to cover The moon that should rise yonder. Thou art alone, fond lover
